Bavette's Bar & Boeuf

What can I say about this place? Go here and have a great time, good steak (and bone marrow), delicious wine, and a delicious chocolate cream pie. Sat at the bar and had the Lyonnaise Salad and glass of the table red (tempranillo) to start. Followed by ribeye steak frites with bone marrow. The steak was tender and expertly spiced and the bone marrow was buttery heaven. Finishing off the meal with chocolate cream pie was delightful, and proved to be too much food for one person! To accompany the amazing food was the great service and dark atmosphere - transports you to a jazzy and moody experience - perfect for a steak house. Loved the friendly and attentive bartenders. Recommended.

We had an absolutely cozy and romantic vibe here. Even though it was busy, the place was quiet and very comforting. Service was exceptional and our waiter was very welcoming and polite. The oysters were to die for. Filet mignon and the skirt steaks were so juicy and delicious. Truffle Mac n cheese and creamy spinach melted in our mouths! Everything was so so so good! Thank you Bavettes!

Food is a 9/10. Sizzling shrimp scampi slightly overcooked (it comes sizzling, so it's still cooking, with forgettable pieces of garlic bread). Wedge salad was amazing. Crab cake was incredible. Ordered the petite filet mignon and dry-aged bone-in Ribeye. Both were excellent. Truffle Mac & cheese and buttery mashed potatoes. Chocolate creme pie for dessert. Service is outstanding; our server was knowledgeable about everything we asked. Never felt rushed. $500 out the door with tip. Took 3 weeks to get a table for 2 in the dining room. Going to Bavettes seems to be a rite of passage for those who love trying all the best restaurants in Chicago. Overall a wonderful experience.

This was my second visit to Bavette Bar & Boeuf, and it was just as great as I remembered from the first time I dined here. The dry-aged bone-in ribeye was outstanding, perfectly cooked and brushed with a rich mix of compound butter and bone marrow that added incredible depth and flavor. The sides were just as memorable. The truffle mac and cheese was the star of the table, while the creamed spinach with Gorgonzola was a close runner-up, creamy, bold, and perfectly balanced. The mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery, with roasted garlic cloves adding a nice contrast of texture and sweetness. To finish, the caramel gelato was absolutely decadent. The perfect ending to another exceptional meal. Bavette Bar & Boeuf continues to deliver on every level. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates top-quality steaks and thoughtful, well-crafted sides.

Delicious food, wonderful service. Thank you, Meredith and to the manager. Came here for my anniversary and we were taken care of in the parlor. Ordered the baked goat cheese which kind of reminded me of shakshuka, and the mixed green salad with apples, and steak frites (American Wagyu) with a garlic enhancement. I really enjoyed my dinner here and would go back. They paid great attention to detail and brought us delicious vanilla ice cream to celebrate our day. It was also delicious and you could taste the fresh vanilla bean. I’ll be back!
